Happy Thursday!

No baby news this week. Continued thank you to Georgia Samford for organizing all the meals. How she keeps up is beyond me:)

Melissa Parsons has begun planning our Thanksgiving Dinner. It is for families and is Sunday, November 22nd at 4pm. We will meet in Asbury Hall which is at the north end of the building. If you did not receive the evite, please contact Melissa. Please RSVP even if you are not coming. For a group this large we need to know how much meat to have and it is a big expense. We want to make sure we have enough for the whole group, but not too many leftovers.

I was told by several of you that you enjoyed the seminar last week that was in lieu of class. Glad it worked out.

We will discuss Chapter 5 of the Parrot study this week.

Start planning for the holidays now: Ladies Ornament Exchange is Wednesday, December 2nd at Sheila Cocke's house. The Couples Christmas Party will be on Saturday, December 12th, at the Erbele's. Watch for more information.

Hope to see you Sunday,
Tami and Gary

Congratulations to the Kachers on the birth of their daughter, Emily Catherine.

Thank you to everyone who is helping make meals for our new families. I know this is a busy time with so many babies, but your help is appreciated.

Don't forget to order your cookbooks from Cara Van Loh. The first set will be copied on teh 28th of October. Contact her at cvanloh@yahoo.com. All profit will got to missions. This one is TWICE as big as our last. Remember Christmas is coming and will make great gifts!

We WILL NOT have class on Sunday. We were just invited to a program on raising boys (I know, some of you only have girls or no little ones at this time), but this is a good opportunity to hear great speakers and I'm betting some information will be relevant to girls.

This program will be offered at 11am in Wesley Hall ( main building located near the atrium). If you prefer to go to 11am service this week, it is also offered in the same location at 9:30am.

Matt Samford, you will get the chance to fill in another time. Thanks for the offer.

Andy, thanks for organizing the golf outing for the guys last Sunday.

I hope you all have had a good week.

Gary and I will see you next week!

This Week in Under Construction

Hope you have had a good week!

We will continue discussing Week 4 of the Parrot study. I just take longer with discussions:)

Cara VanLoh and her committee are busy putting the cookbooks together. These will only be available by advance order. Cara will let us know the price and the deadline for ordering.

No babies this week, but keep the Kachers in your prayers. Jessica will have her c-section on Tuesday.

Also keep Amanda Wylie in your prayers. Their baby is due in December and she is having pre-term labor.

Also remember the Allen family. Jack and Jessica are the parents of LJ who was born last week at 2 pounds 12 inches. He is now at Children's Hospital. I would like us to take a collection to give to this family to help with hotels, meals and such as they spend so much time in Houston.

Don't forget the Guys Golf outing this Sunday at 1pm. Contact Andy Parsons for information.

Enjoy your weekend and hope to see you Sunday!!
